Overview of 1960 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible For Sale by Owner

It was in 1938 that Ferdinand Porsche and his team finalized the design of the Beetle. The requirement was for a 'people's car' that was cheap, simple, and could be mass-produced for Germany's new road network. The production of beetles took off during the late '40s, and a decade later, one million Beetles had been sold. Since then, the VW Beetle has become an icon in automotive history due to its unique appearance. This remarkable 1960 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is located in California and has the distinction of being featured on VW Trends Magazine's cover in 2001.

Exterior and Interior

This Beetle has undergone a full frame-off restoration and is now in a distinctive Yukon Yellow. The car sports its classic chrome front bumper, with silver trimming around the headlights, hood, alongside the body continuing to the rear with a matching bumper and twin exhaust. The look is completed with a set of chrome VW hubcaps framed in whitewall tires, incase the Beetle wasn't already retro enough. The interior complements the entire look perfectly. The Yukon Yellow paint stretching across the dashboard is complemented beautifully with white accents on its fully functional radio, immaculate steering wheel, and gear knob. The front and rear seats come in green and white leather trim, with the same application to the door panels and beige seatbelts to match the soft-top convertible roof.

Engine

This version comes with a fully rebuilt original 1.2l air-cooled boxer engine with a power output of 36 bhp accessible via a 4-speed manual transmission. Some extras include a new clutch, brand new brakes as well as a new shifter.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
